Hands Across The Ocean: NWHS Allies With Two African Conservation Groups Source: National Wildlife Humane Society News
National Wildlife Humane Society is proud to announce the recent alliance with two conservation organizations conducting outstanding wildlife field work in Africa. Ewaso Lions works in the Samburu Region of Kenya Africa, and CERCOPAN operates two facilities in Nigeria Africa. In addition to the organization alliances, Paul Thomson, Director of Operations of Ewaso Lions, and Claire Coulson, Director of CERCOPAN, are now both serving on the NWHS Wildlife Advisory Council. They are both important additions to our Council and join our other experienced and knowledgeable Wildlife Advisory Council Members.
Working in the field in Africa, without USA based offices, makes it difficult to process donations and have the funds reach their operations in the wild, to finance their diligent wildlife work. NWHS is a US based 501c3 non-profit wildlife conservation organization, and is capable of assisting in this capacity.
NWHS will forward 100% of the donations (less the minimal PayPal or bank fees) to these two hard working groups, while allowing US donors the US Federal Tax deduction they deserve for assisting wildlife conservation field work. NWHS will also assist these conservation groups in getting the message out, on how important their field work is to wildlife conservation in Africa...

Rare dwarf lemur rediscovered 100 years after last sighting
Source: Scientific American By: John Platt
Here's some good news from Madagascar: a species of lemur not seen in 100 years has been rediscovered.
Scientists have long believed that the Sibree's dwarf lemur (Cheirogaleus sibreei) went extinct following the destruction of its only known forest habitat. But a few years ago Mitchell Irwin of McGill University in Montreal and his research team encountered some dwarf lemurs that didn't quite look the way they expected the species to appear. Two lemurs were caught, their DNA tested, and the Sibree's dwarf lemur was revealed.
This is actually the first confirmation that the Sibree's lemur is truly its own species. The species looks almost identical to the Crossley's dwarf lemur (C. melanotis), with which it shares its habitat. The research proving its morphological uniqueness was published online March 6 in the journal Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution...

Will Commercial Whale Hunts Soon Be Authorized?
Source: DISCOVER blog By: Smriti Rao
After 24 years of championing a ban on commercial whaling, the International Whaling Commission (IWC) will soon weigh a proposal seeking to resume commercial whaling.
The plan would let Japan, Norway and Iceland hunt the ocean giants openly despite a 1986 moratorium on commercial whaling. In return, whaling nations would agree to reduce their catch "significantly" over 10 years. These pro-whaling nations have kept up their hunts either by officially objecting to the moratorium or by insisting that they’re killing whales for scientific research.
The proposal is due to be submitted before the body's annual meeting in June in Morocco, leading some conservationists to complain that the IWC should "save whales, and not whaling." The details of the proposal will made public on Earth Day - April 22...
